Westside Terraced Rock Walls: work-in-progress photos

This rock wall project consisted of 3 long rock walls (pictured above) and 2 shorter ones, including a staircase/planter.  The home and rock walls look out at a magnificent west side view on Whidbey Island (see below).

Find the nearest local landscape contractors listed in your area, such as Vancouver and Toronto using the myTradesDirect.com detailed listings online directory. You can view their profiles and even view photos or videos to see the type of work they do. Regardless of the size of your required landscape design project, we try to make the process of finding the best landscaping contractors around easy for you.
Perhaps you’ve been flipping through some landscape design magazines and have seen a few designs you really like? When you contact a landscaping company they can come up with a plan that will incorporate all the landscape elements you like and that will work best in the area you live.
Landscaping is more than just planting some grass and throwing in a couple of trees. Coming up with a plan and creating designs that work with your home can actually increase its value. Hiring qualified landscape contractors doesn’t have to be a daunting task.

Amazing. And great work in progress. We also do stonescapes back here at katy landscaping. But your rockscape is quite interesting. Hope the "work-in-progress" gets a real fine finish.
